    So, about 5 min ago I was about to read BEM in my iPad when I was redirected to Google out of nowhere. Tried again, same thing. Tried reaching the chapter's link through NU to no avail. Tried other sites and only WW is redirecting me like that. Restarted the iPad, took my iPhone and, guess what? Redirected again. WTF is going on?

    EDIT: When I say 'redirect', I mean automatically redirecting me to google without even clicking a link. 3 seconds after opening WW it is redirected to google.

    It's how WW makes money, they spam you to death with ads.

    Wuxiaworld is annoying af on iPad. Try using a diff browser and most of the problems will disappear. I always use Firefox focus if I have to read something on wuxiaworld.

    turn off javascript. I'd love to support them but they are sketchy beyond fuck with ads.
    My mobile(new model) practically burns my hands off if I leave javascript on from all the shit running.

    This happens to me sometimes too. It is not the connection. Should be related to Javascript and cookies. But it is not common.

    it happened to me, redirected me to some site called gamesclub, later i got a sms saying ive subscribed to gamesclub.
    billing me monthly and stuff.
    note: i didnt touch anything when i was redirected, maybe back buttons and close, but nothing else in the screen

    after unsubscribing, which i beleive cost money to send sms too,
    going back to reading only to get redirected to same site again :/

    that's why i use the app never ads to block all the spam when i read on there....
    I don't mind ads, I'm glad to help a little. But when I can't read the story peacefully, I turn it on.

    When using WW to read anything on my cellphone I just load the texts, then turn off the wifi (so the adds and videos won't load)
    Hope that helps since sometimes the google chrome app crashes because of those adds
